A: Ugly or XYU or maybe Blank

Q: Do you think BC has ever considered growing his hair back?
You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities...

A: Somebody once suggested he should grow his hair back ... and now they're no longer with us. Mike, Jeff and Nicole live in fear everyday.

Q: When SP tour your town with Oceania this year, what do you want / expect from the concert? How should the stage set up be? What would you like to see on the setlist (within reason) ?

Thanks guys! :D Had to take a break for a while because of exams! :)

As for the question, I'm hoping for a concept sort of thing, kinda dark like MACHINA era concerts! The set-list will probably contain a lot of what it contained last year but maybe with this ''wall of sound'' Billy's talking about for Oceania, Real Love might fit into the concerts well! I'd love to hear it live!

Something like this:
Behold The Nightmare (excellent on the European Tour)
Real Love
Ma Belle (another I'd love to hear live)
Bring The Light
Hummer
Tom Tom
Sunkissed
Perfect
That's The Way (Electric Version)
Starz (That'd be nice to hear live again if they bring a keyboardist)
Thirty Three

and then your usuals!

Haha oh yeah!

What is the most underwhelming SP song you've ever heard live? In comparison to the studio version....

A: Probably BWBW, that has had some TERRIBLE live renditions.

Astral Planes will always be better in any shape or form than the studio version, even the campfire tom-tom vulture chant version that is undoubtably hiding in the bowels of the archives.

Is it better for SP to do their best at making the live versions sound as good as the studio versions, or should the songs be better represented as complete reworkings that do not resemble the original?

A: For songs that have been done a million times live, rework them. For newer songs, try to recreate the studio version as best you can live.

Q: Do you want SP to play any of the TGbK tracks we already have during the upcoming tour if it means you won't hear all of Oceania live?

A: I think the freshest approach would be to regulate other Teargarden tracks in between Oceania. I would prefer to hear stuff like The Fellowship and Tom Tom and Song for a Son and Lightening Strikes than to just have the whole of Oceania, but then that would be a great show as well!!! I think it's important to link in the new with the old. As good as the Adore tour was, it was a mistake to play limited songs from MC and completely disregard SD and gish.

Q: If BC was going to write, direct and star in a movie - what / who would the movie be about?

A: I'm going to take the easy way out here and say he would make a movie about what "really" happened in the Smashing Pumpkins, with the whole movie trying to justify his massive ego. He would star as himself of course. (put a wig on for pre MCIS scenes. :D )

Q: If you were BC, and you had to choose to have all of the lyrics in SP written by either JC or Darcy, who would you choose as the lyricist and why?

JC because I like his sort of spiritual personality! :)

Why is Thirty-Three not on the Greatest Hits?

A: I guess it wasn't a big enough hit to merit inclusion.

Q: Is the reissuing of the albums a cash in or a genuine effort to give the fans what they want?

A: A genuine effort. BC is a millionaire remember. It's not about the money, if it ever was.

Q: Give out of ten ratings for MUSICAL TALENT for all The Smashing Pumpkins members, new and old.
